Nirvana's third and final proper studio album, the followup to the once-in-a-generation success of Nevermind. Cobain wasn't 100% pleased with the super slick production on Nevermind and aimed to change that this In Utero so they brought in Steve Albini with the aim to give it a rougher rawer sound. They succeeded. But that doesn't mean that there aren't great pop hooks hiding under the rough exterior of great tracks "All Apologies", "Heart-Shaped Box", "Pennyroyal Tea", "Dumb", "Rape Me" and the rest. Fantastic record.
